A new way to teach teens about AI from Gooogle & Stanford.
Fix: Generative AI predicts text patterns, so it can occasionally state incorrect facts confidently. Always review AI output before using it with students. If something looks off, ask the tool: "Cite your source for this claim" or verify it independently.
Q: How do I export generated content straight to Google Docs or Slides?
Fix: In Gemini, look for the Share & Export button (the small share icon under the AI response) and click Export to Docs or Draft in Gmail. For slides, use Canvas mode to build your outline, then click Export Slides.
Q: Can I input student names, grades, or IEP notes into AI tools?
Fix: No. To strictly comply with FERPA and district privacy rules, never put Personally Identifiable Information (PII) into AI tools. Always use generic placeholders like "Student A" or "a 3rd-grade student struggling with reading fluency."
Q: The AI generated an answer that is too advanced or wordy.
Fix: Give it direct feedback right in the chat window! Reply with: "Simplify this to a 4th-grade reading level using shorter sentences."
Build Custom AI Bots (Gemini Gems):
Create a personalized bot pre-loaded with your specific syllabus, subject standards, or grading rubrics so you don't have to re-type instructions every time.
Multi-Modal Lesson Construction:
Upload a image of a textbook diagram or a PDF excerpt into Gemini and ask it to generate a companion readin
Anonymized Data Analysis:
Paste anonymized class score summaries (no student names!) into AI to quickly spot concept gaps, generate small-group instructional lists, or brainstorm targeted re-teaching activities.
Instant Slide & Unit Design:
Open Gemini's Canvas tool to map out an entire multi-day unit, refine the text interactively, and export the entire structure straight into Google Slides for teaching.
